Didn't see a thread for this yet.
Uruguay won big against Chile last night, Suarez with all 4 goals. They're top of the table now, ahead of Argentina who had another disappointing result, drawing 1-1 at home against Bolivia. I watched most of the 1st half, and their problem is clear to see - the individual players are talented, but because of the huge turnover in coaches, and constant changes in the playing 11, there's no cohesiveness or patterns in their play. So many times Higuain or Messi or Pastore will produce a brilliant piece of skill or play a clever pass, but the intended recipient won't expect it.
But their biggest problem seems to be something that every coach is making the mistake of repeating. Picking Martin Demichelis in central defense. Abso-fucking-lutely inexplicable how this clown always plays, but Coloccini doesn't. Heck, even put Mascherano there as a CB ahead of Demichelis. Here's another classic moment from him in yesterday's game:
